July 1st, 1987

Canada Day! In Atlanta... surrounded by Americans.

Oh well.

Today the Braves are pitching Tom Glavine (4-6, 5.08).
The Giants are going with Willie Fraser (7-3, 4.29).

I have gone 2 for 10 vs Glavine, and one of those two was a home run.

I led off the game by eating a whiff.

The Braves opened the scoring in the 1st when Milt Thomson scored from 2nd on a Ron Oester single.

Braves lead 1-0.

In the 2nd I got under a pop by Gerald Perry and... dropped it. Somehow. I don't understand it either. I made up for it a little by being the pivot on a Thompson - Priske - Deer double play to get Perry and Tommy Thompson.

I came up in the 3rd with one out and Lee Mazzilli on 2nd. This time I walked. With two out Chili Davis also walked, to load the bases. Then Rob Deer ALSO walked, to score Lee! Mike Aldrete singled to score myself and Chili. Then Robby Thompson homered!

Giants lead 6-1!

I came up with two out in the 4th and grounded out to Andres Galarraga at 1st.

I got the 1st out in the bottom of the 6th, taking a Ron Cey grounder.

I led off the 7th, now facing Ed Vande Berg. I was walked again. This time there was nobody in front of me so I picked up stolen base #59 AND #60! Chili singled and I scored again. Chili later scored on an Aldrete sac fly.

Giants lead 8-1.

Fraser left with two out and two on in the 7th. Mike Perez took over and gave up a double to Oester, which scored both inherited runners.

Giants lead 8-3.

Pat Perry took over in the 8th. He gave up a solo homer to Galarraga on his 2nd pitch.

Giants lead 8-4.

I led off the 9th, now facing Brian Fisher. I doubled into the right field corner. I loved to 3rd on a deep fly by Chili and then scored on a Deer double.

Giants lead 9-4.

With one out in the 9th Scott Garrelts took over pitching, in what was clearly not a closer situation. He struck out both guys he faced and we picked up the win.

Nice day for me! 1 for 3 with a double, two walks, THREE runs scored and a pair of stolen bases! (And an error...)

We are now 47-30. We still trail the Dodgers by 3 and the Reds by 2.5.
